No details about the size of the plane or the number of people on board are immediately available. Divers and other rescue crews were on the water and a Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman says she's on her way to the scene Thursday afternoon.

A U.S. Coast Guard spokesperson says the small, green plane went down near Germantown in Columbia County at about 4:30 p.m.

Witnesses tell local media outlets the plane broke up and sank on impact.

The Columbia County Sheriff's Office says it can't immediately provide any information.
